Articles about Kirti Azad


Profile:

The son of a Central Minister, Kirti Azad was an aggressive right handed batsman and a quickish off spinner. A surprise choice for the tour of Australia and New Zealand in 1980-81, he made his Test debut at Wellington. He then played three Tests without much success against England in 1981-82. He was then ignored till he was picked for the World Cup in 1983. Azad had his day in the sun when he played a leading part in India winning the semifinal against England, when he helped bottle up the middle order with his fastish off breaks and earned a bonus while bowling the dangerous Ian Botham. Back home he played a swashbuckling innings at the Kotla in helping India defeat Pakistan in one of the early day night games. But he met with little success in three Tests against Pakistan and West Indies and was discarded.

Azad, a nonconformist in many ways, was a stalwart all rounder for Delhi for years and in 95 Ranji Trophy matches he scored 4867 runs (47.72) and took 162 wickets (28.91). His highest score was 215 against Himachal Pradesh in 1985-86. He followed his father into politics and was elected to Parliament on a BJP ticket. (Partab Ramchand)
